  • Hilarious

    These guys are so genuine and, frankly, hilarious. From moments where they’re clearly forgetting their not just chatting amongst themselves to just absolutely chaotic moments of fighting stuff out it’s a true joy to listen

  • Love these guys!

    Sam and Jake make a great duo. Their banter is funny and serious at the same time. Good topics. Good tips on fitness and lifestyle. Always interesting. Glad to have LGBT issues normalized and part of the podcast scene.

    Now if we could just get them to sing together! LOL

  • Love out of bounds

    It brings joy to hear Jake discuss topics, in a non-judgmental way, that so many of us find taboo. I listen on my commute home, and it’s a great way to unwind and reduce the stress of traffic. And who doesn’t love to hear Jake talk??
